In 2001, I purchased a LockRight from a guy who used to be in the Rising Sun. He said it was one of the first LockRights ever made, and at the time, the company wasn't even calling them "LockRights" -- they were called D Lockers (IIRC).
I installed it in my rear diff and it's worked fine.
After breaking the long rear axle shaft in my FJ40 at Cruise Moab this year, I had the opportunity to disassemble and then reassemble the D Locker. Chris Hatfield said, "That's different than any LockRight I've seen."
Differences:
1. On top of the springs there are small metal discs that sit between the pins and the springs.
2. There are copper pins with slope/taper on one end, coming to a point, that slip in from the side to tension the springs up against the pins.
Otherwise, the design is the same as a LockRight.
Needed:
I'd like to get a copy of the original installation instructions, just to make sure that I've been installing the locker correctly, etc. I called Richmond Gear, current owners of Powertrax/LockRight. The technical support guy that I talked to said that he had "heard of the copper pin versions" of LockRights, but had no information concering them. The old company out of California is kaput.
Does anyone have any information or old instructions that they could copy and send to me?
Thanks!
